Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.

If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Fundraising began in January 1919 for the construction of the monument, with a procession held which included a large crowd, many being returned soldiers, with music provided by the Pyramid Hill Brass Band. A number of returned soldiers were transported in the automobile of Mr. P. Hardiman and the Pine Grove Red Cross lorry represented the nursing profession.

The monument was unveiled by Mrs. Whitfield on November 1st, 1919.

The base has a mound surrounded by granite. On this stands a pedestal of marble about one metre in height, the four sides of which are ten centimetres across and arched. Under each arch are the Union Jack and the Australian flag in outline, and under these the names of those from the district who served in the war.

A female figure of "Remembrance" with a fold of her robe full of floweres held by her right hand, while the left hand is extended and holds a single flower. Her head is slightly bowed, the face looking downwards. At her side is a scroll, bearing the words "Pro Deo Pro Patria" (For God and Country). At her feet is the word "Remembrance".
